Permanent Ban on account that hasn't been played since July

Couldusearedo··57 votes·3,160 views

As the title states above, I had moved back in July to prepare for my Master's program at my new university and have not been online since that point. However it seems that someone had been as my account is now banned. I signed on to view the new season changes earlier in the week and this account was permanently banned for chat logs which I will not put in the chat for the sake of keeping this clean. I have talked with support so far and as expected...they say that I am responsible for all activity on my account and that nothing suspicious was reported about it. That is fine, I understand that I am responsible. However, if I am not attempting to sign on or view my activity on this account how am I to know that suspicious activity or flaming or anything is occurring? So because no "suspicious activity" was reported, they simply tell me that my account is no more. But at what point does Riot also have a slight responsibility to say, hey, this guy went from the occasional report with no prior bans (that I can remember) to 2 different hate speech filled bans within a 2 month period. Yes, hate speech, guess what the chat logs looked like, it was disgusting. Something doesn't add up there, I have been playing for close to 5 years now and I just hate to see it end this way with no way to fight my case simply because I had not signed in for an extended period of time to report my account.

If there is truly no way to to solve this case then I suppose the right thing to do is for me bring it to everyone's attention that there is quite a flaw here that might need addressing in the ban department. At what point does activity on an account become "suspicious"? And how would Riot assist players in discovering the account is being used should someone be on it without purchasing, or does that still rely solely on the players discovering it themselves? And if the player truly is solely responsible for his account, why would we not have more security features that say, steam or blizzard have in that putting an extra authentication number/password that can be sent to our phones into the game as an option?

This is why it is WAY overdue for Two-Step Authentication.

You are categorically not responsible for someone else breaking the law and hacking into your account. Ensure that Riot understands this, as they seem to believe otherwise every time something like this happens. Do not accept any justifications for you ban for the cucks on these forums saying shit like "it's your fault for not making your password secure enough" or "you should have checked in periodically to make sure you account wasn't compromised" (you will almost certainly get these comments).

Do not let Riot punish the victim of CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

If there is truly no way to to solve this case then I suppose the right thing to do is for me bring it to everyone's attention that there is quite a flaw here that might need addressing in the ban department.

A flaw that has resulted in numerous cases like your over the years I've been on these boards. Riot most certainly knows about it. Problem is, they do not give a flying fuck about their player base. It's easier for them to just ban you then to actually do their job to protect people. Keep fighting. Riot has overturned decisions like this in the past. Keep posting here and keep banging your head against the wall with support tickets. It doesn't sound like you've talked to a real person yet (it can take literally weeks for the system to pass the report from a bot to a real person, especially with tickets regarding what the system flags as "false ban complaints". Riot literally doesn't care about these because at heart they actually believe that their shit system is working 100% as intended, and entertaining people like you (ie innocent of any wrongdoing) will make their system seem faulty, which in turn makes them look bad. Not good for them, so they just don't do it. But keep trying. You will eventually get a real person who will actually investigate your claims and hopefully be able to uncover the truth.

Pretty much this, companies worth less than a tenth of Riot like Discord have better account security systems, Riot doesn't give a shit.

I do sorry mate. I'm afraid you can't do much if you don't want to make some serious legal moves against Riot Games, but if you haven't spent a fortune on LoL I don't think it worth it. The problem is that you signed the same, pretty unfair terms of use what most online games use - though probably you didn't read it as 99% of people. As you're doing your master's, I'm sure you can comprehend what I cite from the Account Termination part:

"2.1.2. Us.We may terminate or suspend your account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that: (a) you have violated any part of this Agreement; (b) we have stopped offering the Riot Services in your region; or (c) doing so would be in the best interests of our community, the Riot Services, or the rights of a third party. We may make such determinations, among other ways, by using automated systems and machine learning tools."

So, in layman's terms, they can permaban you whenever they fancy :/

I don't think any of those three statements are about this this specific incident. Yes, they can permanently ban at any point but this is a case that is difficult to find a right answer in. And I think it may need looked at from a riot perspective about what exactly to do when peoples accounts are taken and put in this position before something can be done. I am all for increased security on accounts if it means avoiding losing my money and time spent.

Really sucks that that's happening to OP though. Hope it works itself out.

Aterpater3 votes

These statements (like point c) are practically about that they can shut your account down when they fancy. There's an other point in the Terms of Use (you can find it online) what states that you are responsible for any activity on your account. You are perfectly right that it isn't a good thing, especially with the above security issues, but the OP can only hope that Riot will change their mind. Or, as I said, he can take it to court and attack the agreement itself or the account security what Riot provides, but I still don't think it worth it if isn't a damn lot of money is on stake...

Couldusearedo7 votes

I have in fact read the entirety of the Terms of Use pertaining to this (bit longer than I would have liked) and this really is a grey area in between the points that is not directly addressed. It is much more along the lines of, like you had stated, they can shut it down when they fancy. But that is exactly why I posted this to the boards here. I want people to talk about this and hopefully Riot can take a look and say, "Hmm, maybe we should define this incident better to prevent or prepare for future occurrences."

"You are solely responsible for the activity on your account" - Yes, so why is it that after the first ban instead of just linking my logs into the game (which I had not signed into) there should have been an email attached to the lengthy bans regarding in-game play to allow players to respond and Riot would also have a better way of warning players about reports. Had I received an email of the initial incident rather than having to sign in too late to see the following one, I could have reacted and reported the activity. Where as now, having been busy and unable to view my status via the logs in game, I am left with nothing but a bad taste in my mouth.

Had I been the one who had wrote such things, I would simply move on having realized, "Hey, I put myself in this situation." Instead, I am now wondering why such drastic changes to my attitude is not considered "suspicious" and why this is not more thoroughly listed in the Terms of Use about bans and suspensions. Having the terms of use and making players click accept to them lets Riot return and say okay, this happened so we do this. This specific incident is not completely listed nor is it explained in a way that isn't, "You are responsible, you get a ban".

Once again, I am putting this incident up on the forums here to hopefully bring more awareness to individuals who might end up in the same situation. So please, don't think I am arguing just because I have lost things, I am arguing so that future incidents in this category are fully addressed and players know exactly what to do and how to take care of it. No one wants to lose money or the time spent in game because of security concerns that were too slow to be addressed from either side.

Aterpater3 votes

You are perfectly right about all of these. I just pointed out that these are the rules they use. But I do agree that these definitions and practices are pretty obscure and they could be questioned.

Pokku2 votes

I remember quoting the same parts of the Terms a few years ago, trying to raise the awareness of Riot being able to ban anyone as they please. (They do seem to have reworded that part to be slightly less broad than back then.) Unfortunately, most people don't take it seriously as long as they are not affected, but I take it as a matter of principle.

They not just don't take it seriously but I'm getting downvoted for some reason for citing that :D

I don't know if it's a matter of taking it seriously or not. It's more a helplessness. We just go okay, fine whatever, just let me play. We just accept that they can do whatever they want whenever they please, and hopefully the day they decide to get rid of me never comes. It is just a game afterall. It's not like we are signing our lives away. However, I would agree if you said most people don't even read it and don't care, actually. I guess yeah, most people don't take it seriously in that way hahaha. What a roundabout way to agree with you in the end.

Or, hypothetically, had you been the one that used hate speech you could have pretended your account was stolen.

RacoonHunter3 votes

Riot has the ability to see what IP you are playing from. it's easy for them to check to see what IP the hate speech came from, they are just too lazy to even do it.

I feel sorry for you man and I hope that you get things worked out because I had an account that I never got back because something similar happened to me. It was banned for hate speech from a totally different IP/Country (they told me the ip came out of europe and I live in the south and have never been to europe) and thus created this one due to the response I got from riot supports lazy employees.

Silent Gravity3 votes

Ok, the process to go through is to submit a support ticket at https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new using the "I need help recovering my account" option.

That will get you to the correct people. You will answer questions that prove that the account is yours, then you can dispute the punishment as occurring while you were not accessing the account.

Without that step, it is assumed that everyone on the account was authorized by you, and any action on the account is your responsibility.

Weiss Guertena3 votes

I'll say it again. "You are responsible for all actions on your account" stance is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE as long as Riot doesn't want to provide us with bare minimum in protecting our accounts.

If I get on a fresh computer IP and want to connect to my: -Steam or SWTOR account I have to type in a code from my COMPLETELY FREE app designed specifically for account safety -Guild Wars 2 account I first receive an SMS code which I have to type in -Battle.net or Wildstar I have to verify my email -League? Nip. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

Riot's system is equivalent to a country in which door locks are outlawed, and if someone breaks into your house and robs you blind police refuses to help you with reasoning that you are fully responsible for being robbed because you didn't lock your door.

Even fucking 3rd grade Korean MMO's which make 90% of their money by attracting horny teenagers with boobs have better security in place than biggest, most profitable MOBA int he world. Let that sink in.

"Hey, this account started logging in from a new location and immediately became toxic with no prior history. Maybe we should look into it?"

-Company that gives a shit about account security

Couldusearedo1 votes

That is what I mean by what is "suspicious activity"? If someone decides that the account they now have access is too much of a hassle to sell and just decide to destroy it over time with toxicity and hurling out abuse to make it look like a user suicide, when does that get reported to the owner of the account? It doesn't, you get nothing but the in game chat logs (which you have to sign in to the game for). If I do not sign in, I do not know, that is not ignorance, that is fact. I have to wonder why it was not sent in email form after the very first ban. Since I never signed in at any point, that person that took it had 0 chance of being found and I had 0 chance that the outcome would ever change from what it currently is.

ModUlanopo2 votes

.they say that I am responsible for all activity on my account and that nothing suspicious was reported about it.

This sounds as though the logins were from your IP. That being the case, you may want to look into who else has/had access to your computer and account.

Couldusearedo1 votes

That was my first thought as my brother has been known to "prank" me and occasionally deletes my things but never like this, of course I do live with a 90 year old man who likes to harass me...but I doubt it's him since he can't even figure out how to fill out his W-9 forms yet and my brother lives about 300 miles away.

My problem with the IP address is that at what point do they look at where the IP came from and decide "hmm, yes, he does live wherever this is!" I can guarantee 100% that the IP address provided during the ban timing is different from where I was when I moved this Summer, where I am now, or where I went to college, or where I signed in while on vacation, or traveling for work. There are lots of places where I played quite frequently and at what point does Riot look at all those previous locations and decide that I am traveling or being hacked?

ModUlanopo2 votes

The reason I mention it is that, when I was being vetted for Arbiter, they mentioned my smurf, which hadn't been played since early season 2. They don't talk about their research techniques - for obvious reasons - but I do know they're very thorough and prefer not to have to close accounts.

If you're certain no one in your household could be responsible, you should put in a ticket asking for another review.

Couldusearedo1 votes

It's a good point to bring up as you mention since it can give area of incident but my problem as well as others I am sure is exactly was Aterpater had mentioned. IP can be dynamic, and you have to take into account that there is no guarantee that the person filing the complaint is not traveling or moving at the time of incident. This would bring about multiple IP addresses.

For Example:

  • Victim A signed in the day before the incident in Texas (Day 1)
  • Suspect A signed in during his travel time in Tennessee (Day 2)
  • Victim A signs back in the day after when he arrived in New York (Day 3)

Which IP do you look at to determine which of the 3 is the Suspect or Victim? If I put those 3 points on a grid, I would have an almost straight line leading from Texas to New York in chronological order and the first thing I would think is, "He stopped in Tennessee while traveling and played and was toxic at this point due to the stress from the drive/flight."

This is obviously a hypothetical but it still raises a valid point in that at the time I stopped playing (the last point I was active in July) I was in a different location than I am now. So during a 4 month period where all Riot knows from me is that I was "moving", they have no real way to know whether I am at the address provided, or if they provide me a location they think fits the description, I could say I was or was not there. This let's them have complete control over the outcome in that it then turns into a "he said, she said" and they either believe me or believe their stance on the initial ban.

ModUlanopo2 votes

I understand all that. My point is more that you have to try and give Riot an excuse to believe you. Trust me, the people in Player Support don't like this any more than you do.

JudoToss3 votes

You didn't sign in at all. But you did sign in from several different locations while traveling, working, vacationing etc?? They know that it's possible to use a VPN to spoof your IP, and that's probably what a lot of people do to bypass the ban system. It's also possible to tell if a connection is through a VPN, or just from a different location, or even if it was all on the same PC, but it's not necessarily easy or free to do, since someone would have to investigate the info they have, match it up with your story, etc. Everything they do that isn't automated costs them money, and I wouldn't expect them to invest a lot of money until there is good evidence for them to do so. From their perspective, either you are the perpetrator attempting to get away with bad behavior, or someone has your password and is using your identity to intentionally get you banned. You identify yourself to riot with that password/account combination through the security verification theory of "what you know". Someone either knows what you know, or it's just you the whole time. There are plenty of ways someone could learn your password. Most are illegal, but another possibility is you gave the password willingly, or you just want to get away with bad behavior. Keep raising tickets until they can investigate. Give them ALL the legitimate IP addresses you have used. Give them as much info that you do have if you can't provide all of it. Don't expect fast turn around or the outcome you want. Above all else, use a better password, and make sure it is one that you don't use for anything else.

Yes, before July I was an athlete with a soccer team that traveled across the country for the season and I also played PDL soccer in the summer. It is not surprising that at any point I would sign in during our stays in a hotel. I also provided most of those as an example as to what would cause the multiple IP not that I was signing in all over the place for the past 4 months. I have also changed the email associated with the account as well changed my current password 4 times in the past week to further strengthen the account although since it is currently permanently banned I am effectively protecting nothing more than my forum posts and my ability to fight a false ban however no, I don't expect this to be solved any time soon but I will keep fighting it or at least try to get Riot to provide stronger security measures to prevent this from happening to others.

What about that most of the ISPs give dynamic IPs nowadays? So that "your IP" isn't that simple if you didn't pay extra for a static IP.

Just going to be honest.... The fact that you said the ban resulted from two toxic streaks from the summer while you weren't play shows the whole post is BS.

Riot does not tell you that in the ban notice. You get a chat log not a detailed explanation. Pretty sure if they check those IPs they will line up with where you lived at the time, and why would anyone every randomly hack and use a LOL account?

Not a fan of the ban system or the special snowflakes who bang out reports every game, but this ban seems VERY legit.

Guess you just got lured back after seeing the changes, but looks like you'll be on a new account.

That doesn't show the post is BS at all. He might be lying, but this seems a lot more believable than most of the nonsense people try to post here.

Riot does not tell you that in the ban notice.

Incorrect. When you get banned, you receive two seperate emails, one is a notice as to how long your account is banned with a time and date... if it is a "permanent" ban then the year of the ban is the "code" that tells you what you were banned for. For example, If you are banned until the year 2100 this means that the account has had a security compromise and is locked, requiring you to contact Riot support to varify information. A ban code of 2103/2104/2105 is for an inappropriate name, although they have since utilized a forced name change into the system. 2106/2107 is for chargebacks or other problems requiring billing... and so on.

The other email you receive is a more detailed explanation that usually contains wording along the lines of, "...your account has been banned for a [terms of use violation] / [the use of malicious third party programs] / [repeated behavioral violations and toxicity]".

You get a chat log not a detailed explanation. Pretty sure if they check those IPs they will line up with where you lived at the time, and why would anyone every randomly hack and use a LOL account?

That may be the case, but that assertion is rather presumptuous on your part, wouldn't you say?

Well my misinformed poster:

The form letter does not tell you for what time period you misbehaved and are banned for. So, the fact he mentions the specific two weeks says he knows what he did and when he did it. Riot does not tell you those details in the email. You get the notice and a chat log. Get banned a few times and you'll know.

If you cant read a post and understand the purpose of making assumptions I cant help you there. The OP is obvious BS. His knowledge of the time period, the assertion that "someone" steals LOL accounts to get them banned is laughable. The point of my post is to show how laughable it is. He told on himself, so he is better off just making a new account.

BTW stop being a wanna be justice warrior on the forums. You are not here to take the side of injustice and when you do pick the right side. Because if you read any of this and bought it I have a bridge Id like to sell you. If you just want to argue then find another forum.

Well my misinformed poster:

Great start to a response, definitely fosters civil and reasonable conversation.

The form letter does not tell you for what time period you misbehaved and are banned for.

Bans for toxicity are nearly instantaneous these days, therefore it can be reasonably deduced that the ban received was for a period of time just prior to the time and date that the email was received.

If you cant read a post and understand the purpose of making assumptions I cant help you there.

I read it, his story seemed like it /could/ be legit, maybe it isn't. Unlike you, I don't take an omniscient position. Speculation is one thing, but you appear to have all the answers---which is odd because it is painfully obvious that you do not.

The OP is obvious BS.

Maybe it is. You don't know, nor do I.

...the assertion that "someone" steals LOL accounts to get them banned is laughable. The point of my post is to show how laughable it is.

There are several websites that either sell or freely post cracked accounts. There are people that spend countless hours cracking accounts. This is a well-known issue, the fact that you clearly have no idea as to it's existence shows either dreadful ignorance or naivety on your part.

BTW stop being a wanna be justice warrior on the forums.

Ahh, the old ad-hominem argument. When you've got nothing left, try to attack the person rather than the points they make. Ordinarily I'd ignore this part, but just for the record... I'm not defending anyone, I'm just saying that we don't know the facts... I mean you do because you're clearly a God or judge, jury and executioner, but us mortals do not, so we are left to wonder. I hope Riot investigates and that the guy gets his account back if he didn't do anything wrong. If he did, then I hope he gets gone and stays gone for good.

You are not here to take the side of injustice

You're right, I'm here to post on a gaming forum with a thought surrounding a topic posted by another player within the community, this isn't Law and Order or some high drama, it's just the exchange of opinions and ideas. Settle down over there, kiddo.

If you just want to argue then find another forum.

Not here to argue, although you're the one that seems to have the anger issues with the name calling and ad-hominem attacks and whatnot.

Although in all sincerity, what do you hope to accomplish with your responses to the OP and to me by communicating like that? You called his story BS on a gaming forum, so what does that do? What did you win? What did you get out of it? Introspection, get some.

The fact that you said the ban resulted from two toxic streaks from the summer while you weren't play shows the whole post is BS.

I don't really see where in my post I said the toxic streaks came from two streaks in the Summer or am I reading this wrong? I said that during my last time playing my account in July (which is Summer) and until this past week in November when I signed on again I had not been active on this account. And like I had posted, I had previously put in a ticket before coming here because I was not able to sign in due to the ban and had no way to know how or what had happened. The chat logs as well as what occurred was given to me during that initial ticket with the detailed explanation from the support member.

And jumping back to the fact that you think extended play on a compromised account is "bull"... if you have someones account and plan on doing nothing but getting banned over time rather than selling and being possibly caught, what about that is going to flag Riot to the account in order to stop it other than me signing in? If I am busy, how do I sign in to realize what is happening and stop this? If someone takes my things and makes it look like a user suicide, how am I supposed to protect myself? The answer is that even though the responsibility supposedly is mine initially, there just isn't enough for me to protect myself in this game with. Once I make a mistake and someone gets my password its over, there is no added security stopping them at that point besides me realizing the incident is occurring and signing in to change it. In my case I never signed in and now everything is gone, so why would I not come here and post to bring attention to it? Why would I not want to at least fight something that I did not do?

Did you read this before you posted it. There is NO ONE in this world stealing lol accounts to get them banned. That assertion is complete BS.

Your specific mention of the two time periods was in a late post by you not the OP. The fact that you even know this says you know when you were being toxic and what you got banned for. This is not information you are provided by riots form letters. So you kinda ratted yourself out on your BS.

At this point just make a new account.

I have to wonder if you have fully read the initial post and some of the other posts along this board as I specifically mention that I had no knowledge of time frames or any of that until I was given it via a ticket I submitted. I never mentioned any specific time periods other than what was provided to me in the chat logs and the dates that the support member has given me so in a way...yes I do when the account was being toxic since I was given this information > BY RIOT <. And that was only after I put the ticket in to find this information as to why my account my was banned. And the reason why I came to the boards was to allow people like yourself who are inherently skeptical of anything of this nature to post and to answer the questions that Riot are asking as well.

Just to reiterate, I had no initial knowledge about anything that had happened on this account, I had no knowledge of what the ban or the time frame of said ban UNTIL I put in my ticket and was provided the chat logs as well as an explanation of the events by a support member.

I will reply to this simply from a discussion stand point. Feel free to point out what you feel is wrong.

  1. Yes, I moved to "study" because my undergraduate university did not provide the masters program I was interested in pursuing.
  2. It is very difficult to avoid seeing the updates done to league if are subscribed to their channel on YouTube/twitch/discord etc.
  3. There were only 2 rather immediate increases in toxicity over the course of a few days of actual game play. If someone takes my account and does something to warrant a ban, what is stopping them from seeing if the account they had taken control of was still unprotected and check in after a ban?
  4. Considering they had come back to the account (once again I ask what I did in my initial post) why was there not a more warranted from the initial ban rather than just relying on the logs provided at sign in? Why was there not an email detailing this event (which could easily be made automated on Riot's end) to allow players to have documentation of this and report suspicious activity or stop the toxic behavior?

Nice. Just fucking nice. How are you not instantly banned? Hope you get more than a boards ban, because you're clearly a racist fd agibg. I'mma be nice. Get outta here.

Gotta keep your passwords secure, my dude. And don't use the same passwords/emails across different accounts. I'm gonna venture a guess that they could check the computer and IP used, but if you took a break but your account did not, that sounds pretty fishy.
